Survival Cannibalism: Miracle in the Andes Primer

On October 13th, 1972, a plane chartered by a Uruguayan rugby team crashed on a mountain high in the Andes. 72 days later, sixteen survivors emerged from the wreckage starving and dirty yet somehow alive. What happened in the aftermath of the Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 disaster is one of the most harrowing and inspirational stories ever told.  In this episode, Jenn walks Joe through the true story of the Old Christians Club rugby team and their incredible determination to survive.  For more survival cannibalism, support us on Patreon: patreon.com/murdermadefiction where you can access full coverage of Yellowjackets seasons 1 and 2 in addition to more than 50 episodes of true crime coverage.   Wanna connect with the show?
